It is only to be able to realize the space that surrounds you, that the intangible exists and communicates, it is not what it is neither before or after, but what is in between, what you remember, what is left. Enter that state of travel, be in transit, in transition and thus be able to talk about “ideas” outside the world where people are trapped looking for answers in the circle of experiences.

“Each reader looks for something in the poem. And it is not unusual for them to find it: it was already there.”

Kvartirnik — Poster

“Kvartirnik” is a live music concert held in a private apartment. Kvartira means flat or apartment in Russian. These were wide spread in 1970–80’s in USSR, almost all of them had illegal and underground status. The situation when rock bands weren’t able to play in clubs and bars, because of the official goverment policy, pushed young generation to find a new way of communication with fans. Due to space limit in apartment, boundaries beetween musicians and an audience erased and a concert usually transformed to friendly party. During these live concerts a lot of sound tape records were done, copies were being distributed illegaly as well. Kvartirnik is a crucial phenomenon in alternative music culture in 70–80s & played a significant role in rock music development in Russia.

This poster was designed under Bruce Mau Design for United Notions exhibition. You can get a copy here.

Nombre y Forma Book — Camila Valdes

This work gathers everyday incidents. The scenes of each of these photographs deliver information recognizable to many, normal objects that refer to learned names: the similar and the common. Among them, accidental shapes too. Areas hiding coincidences, transformation and a longing for the natural.

Even though this book has nothing to do with words, the silence within them also speaks.

Food court — Good food

Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth… these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, global health, food security and women’s empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all. This is my collaboration for the Food Court project realeased in the Toronto Art Book Fair 2016, thanks for the energy Chris Lee
